Who here is parenting an ND child?

Has finding out their diagnosis also led to you or their other parent to a late diagnosis?

Any resources you’d like to share with the community?

    Man, that sounds awful. And not entirely unfamiliar. Even when trying to be helpful and understanding, the school has the “they’re just lazy and need more pushing” mindset that they can’t get out of.

      It actually got worse. We found out why the principal was so angry at us for going over his head. He wasn’t in compliance with 504 plans and didn’t want school officials intruding on “his school” to find out.

      Oh, also he was having an affair with one of the teachers and sexually harassed many others. That principal “disappeared” one day (forced to resign) and my wife and I used the opening to get our son more supports.
